Just to clarify..Indonesia is the largest archipelago in the world with a huge span between East and West.
Most lethal earthquakes happen in Sumatra which also featured the notorious band aceh quake which caused the Tsunamis.

This Malukku quake is in the eastern tip of the archipelago..nearly 1000km north of Australia.So this quake will not have any impact on India.

Earthquakes and Tsunami: why some quakes underwater in oceans produce tsunamis and others dont?
Answer: When two tectonic plates slide past horizontlly, there is not much displacement of water in Oceans and you wont have tsunamis, whereas vertical sliding/shift of plates can cause massive tsunamis…
Fyi: indian tectonic plate is moving 2.5cms N-E every year…which can cause quakes in the future. Magnitude will not be big but again quakes are not predictable …

It depends on the intensity of the storm….
if it is a cat 5 or cat 4 it will be calm with light winds..
if it is a cat 3 or 2 or less it will be calm with light winds..and also light drizzles some times depending on the conditions and the core pressure

If you count seconds between when you hear thunder and when you see a lightning strike, what does it tell you?A: How close the storm is to you
B: Where the lightning will strike next
C: When your parents will come home
D: None of the above
